  • The Vile, Dopy, Evil and Odious Game Players
    The vile, dopy, evil and odious game players Aviezri S. Fraenkel¤ Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics Weizmann Institute of Science Rehovot 76100, Israel February 7, 2010 Wil: We have worked and published jointly, for example on graph focality. Now that one of us is already an octogenarian and the other is only a decade away, let's have some fun; let's play a game. Gert: I'm game. Wil: In the Fall 2009 issue of the MSRI gazette Emissary, Elwyn Berlekamp and Joe Buhler proposed the following puzzle: \Nathan and Peter are playing a game. Nathan always goes ¯rst. The players take turns changing a positive integer to a smaller one and then passing the smaller number back to their op- ponent. On each move, a player may either subtract one from the integer or halve it, rounding down if necessary. Thus, from 28 the legal moves are to 27 or to 14; from 27, the legal moves are to 26 or to 13. The game ends when the integer reaches 0. The player who makes the last move wins. For example, if the starting integer is 15, a legal sequence of moves might be to 7, then 6, then 3, then 2, then 1, and then to 0. (In this sample game one of the players could have played better!) Assuming both Nathan and Peter play according to the best possible strategy, who will win if the starting integer is 1000? 2000?" Let's dub it the Mark game, since it's due to Mark Krusemeyer according to Berlekamp and Buhler.

    TENTH ANNUAL CHARITY DAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2014 • NEW YORK Thursday, September 11, 2014 marked BGC’s Tenth Annual Charity Day. BGC Partners, together with its affiliate Cantor Fitzgerald, raised approximately $12 million globally on this single day for dozens of charities around the world. To date, Charity Day has raised approximately $113 million for hundreds of charitable causes. Held in commemoration of the 658 Cantor employees and 61 Eurobrokers employees lost in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, each anniversary is a poignant occasion for us. Every year, BGC Partners and our affiliate Cantor Fitzgerald, in conjunction with the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, strive to turn a tragic day into one that is positive and uplifting by distributing 100% of our global revenues on Charity Day to the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund and dozens of charities around the world. The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, initially created to assist families of Cantor employees who were lost on 9/11, has since broadened its mission to provide aid to victims of terrorism, natural disasters, emergencies, direct service charities and wounded members of the military. We are thankful to all our celebrity guests who joined us in New York on Charity Day and raised money for tremendous causes. In addition, many thanks to our clients, brokers and charities whose commitment, support, enthusiasm and graciousness made Charity Day a spectacular success.

  • Meet the Tribute Stars and Their Backing Band…
    Meet the tribute stars and their backing band… Sharon Owens (Barbara Streisand): Upon graduating from high school in 1984, Sharon shot off on her way into the real world of touring with American Entertainment Company in Columbus Ohio. A year on the road opening for country acts such as the Mandrells, Letterman, and Willie Nelson, Sharon decided to stop the rolling stone and get her education before returning to the entertainment biz. During her studies, she spent many summers in Cambridge, England, where she studied under John Rutter, the famous 20th century composer. During the school year, Sharon would study Opera during the day then run to her night gig, where she sang and danced in the Busch Gardens Main Theater in Tampa Bay Florida. After years of vocal training and a strong master's of education under her belt, Sharon took off for Los Angeles to pursue a career in ANYTHING that had to do with entertainment. Sharon didn’t realize at the time that she was to become a pioneer in the tribute business. Unlike many of the other impersonators who are “lookalikes,” she didn’t study voice and acting simply to be called a tribute artist. “Imitating Streisand became an acting job,” she insists. “So many movies have been made where famous actors immerse themselves into their movie character and then tell a life story of the REAL person, I simply do the same thing, but on stage.” Soon after starting out as a dynamic mimic of the incomparable Streisand, Sharon began to take the comedy routine more seriously.

Nowhere does Franklin feel more contemporary, more revolutionary, and more alive than at the University of Pennsylvania. His startling vision of a secular, nonsectarian Academy that would foster an “Inclination join’d with an Ability to serve Mankind, one’s Country, Friends and Family” has never ceased to challenge Penn to redefine the scope and mission of the modern American university. When pursued vigorously and simultaneously, the two missions – developing the inclination to do good and the ability to do well – merge to help form a more perfect university that educates more capable citizens for our democracy. Penn has embodied and advanced Franklin’s revolutionary vision for 279 years. Throughout its history, Penn has extended the frontiers of higher learning and research to produce graduates and scholars whose work has enriched the nation and all of humanity. The modern liberal arts curriculum as we know it can trace its roots to Franklin’s innovation to have Penn students study international commerce and foreign languages.
